Isekai de Kojiin wo Hiraitakedo, Nazeka Darehitori Sudatou to Shinai Ken (WN)-Chapter 66: The New King.

Translator: Mr.Nobody

“Long time no see, Warm’s king. Well, why are you staring blankly. Let’s begin the war council for fighting the Balk Empire. Could you inform to how far you’ve guys decided.”

I said that.

“You bastard… How dare you talk in that tone towards myself the king!?”

He gnashed his teeth in anger to the point I can hear it here and yelled.

“You’ll be judged by the extent you can report. It would be fine if you behave yourself dignified. Right now you are just incompetent because the country is in turmoil yet the nobles aren’t unified. That’s only natural since they don’t respect you. The status you hold has no guarantee of power. Ability to govern gives you power. Now explain the situation without surprising me anymore.”

I smiled bitterly and said that to him.

“Guguugu, who’ll listen to a bastard like you!?”

The king growled and glared at me from the throne. 𝗳𝔯𝙚e𝒘e𝚋𝘯𝚘ν𝙚l.𝑐o𝙢

“Fumu, anyhow I already know that you’ve decided on nothing. That’s why the earlier declaration of war from Balk Empire will cross over the Warms kingdom to me. Good grief, you’re shockingly incompotent. Now that it’s said there’s no going back and I even gave you a chance…”

I did not want to do it since it was actually troublesome.

Being fed up I got closer to the throne.

Several guardsmen came to stop me but since they were a hindrance I made them faint.

“What!? What do you intend to do!?”

I approached before his eyes without minding his shouting.

And like I extended my hands.

“Hiii!?”

The king screamed unsightly as I put my hands around the scruff of his neck.

“Gue”

I raised him not minding his voice.

And threw him lightly on the floor.

With a pechan frog-like sound coming out of crushing down.

“Gubi”

He let out a displeasuring moan but not minding him I proceeded forward.

And then I sat on the seat that was empty.

“I’ll take your regal power for the time being. In this short war time I’ll become a king and manage the country.”

I declared my inauguration of king in front of the former king and nobles.

“Absurd! Isn’t this usurpation!? It’s not something that can be forgiven!”

The king yelled with bloodshot eyes as he was sitting on the floor.

“That’s right!”

“Doing something like this it will never forgiven!”

The surrounding nobles had red faces and saliva was flying while they talked.

“Haa, you’re misunderstanding something here. It’s not that harmful to let a talentless person stand on the top. It was important for this stratagem. Besides in the first place you have nothing to worry about. I have no interest in being a king. The throne alone is annoying and a bother. I couldn’t care more than this position. I’m just being a king this time only for to cover up your inefficiency as a king. Once this war ends I’ll return it back. Do you understand?”

I just calmly informed him.

When I did so, the former king once more got angry.

“Towards the holy throne…”

And said that while gnashing his teeth.

“What’s so holy about it, I don’t understand… Besides, there aren’t people only who disapprove of me being a King?”

I smiled sarcastically and said so.

“What!?”

The kind yelled surprised.

As I thought he didn’t know.

“At least the rulers from the surrounding countries approve of me a lot. That’s right like the Demon King Laara and Elf Queen Elin?”

“I’m the Demon King Laara. The Demon King’s Country welcomes the coronation of Naomi Masatsugu. I’ve allowed the Balk Empire to temporarily occupy my country but with Masatsugu-dono together we’ll liberate it.”

“I’m the elven queen Elin. My hometown the Elf country was burned down by the hands of Balk Empire and I inherited the throne as I am the only surviving member. Also as Laara-sama I welcome the inauguration of Naomi Masatsugu and together we’ll strike back at my parent’s enemy the Balk Empire.”

I said so and both of them remembered their own positions and in a different tone of voice they spoke.

As expected from the both of them, they magnificently spoke since they were used to things like this.

“That’s so. Aah, there’s the Fairy tribe princess Palmela that approves of me too. Truthfully I also received a medal from them.”

I supplemented them and pulled the Lunar Fairy medal which shone silver like the crescent moon and had wonderful blueish wings engraved to it and showed it to surrounding people.

“Devil King, you say!?”

“Are they not just fake?!”

“No, they are the real thing. When I went to the Demon King Country I saw her there.”

“Then the elf is also… That beauty is certain. I hear a rumor that there was only one survivor from the elven forest.”

“Not only that but to be friendly with the Fairy Tribe who are said to be messengers of the moon… I heard that the Lunar Fairy medal is given only to chosen people…”

I understood from their surprised voice that their attitude has changed.

And no sooner they began chattering.

“I’m not opposing it entirely.”

“Umu. A meeting must be held with the houses of nobles about succession of the throne. But since there’s no time to hold a meeting, I can’t say whether it’s bad or good.”

“That’s right. I have a condition even if you’re temporary. I want you to be observed whether you’re worthy in this war time.”

I was beginning to hear chameleonic voices that weren’t opposing me anymore.

That’s right.

Since they’re feudal lords of their own land they probably don’t mind who is king. Strictly speaking they are looking after their own interests. With that they’re living beings which always compare between kings to see who’s better for them.

Having friendly diplomatic relations with surrounding countries and connecting the interests of your own land are points for testing the ability of a King. This time me being friends with the Demon King Country, Elf Tribe and Fairy Tribe had a clear impact on the nobles.

“How about it, there are nobles in this country that also approve me. The surrounding country rulers also demonstrated that they approve of me. Can you say that I am not worthy to ascend to the throne now?”

I said that and the former king’s eyes were open-wide.

“Impossible! It cannot be!”

And in the throne room, his voice was heard.
